The Office of Public Works (OPW) has responsibility for the conservation and maintenance of the Houses of the Oireachtas and Government Buildings.

In relation to the damage recently caused arising from the gates being rammed, the Leinster House North Road gate was repaired on the day of the incident and will require no further repairs. The cost for reinstating the gate and welding was €1,600 ex VAT.

The cost for the electrical assessment, repair and recommissioning of the gate was €1,980.00 ex VAT.

The gate has not been replaced at any stage in the last four years.
